Bridge Of Weir
Bridge of Weir is a village within the Renfrewshire council area and broader historic region of Renfrewshire in the west main Lowlands of Scotland. Lying within the Gryffe Valley and giving a crossing point for the River Gryffe, the town today offers greatly as a dorm room negotiation for neighboring Glasgow and also Paisley although it keeps an industrial centre of its very own and some light industry. The first forms of the town came to be with the rise of the West of Scotland cotton industry. From around 1793 the river Gryffe was being made use of to power countless cotton spinning and blanket making mills. The most significant sector to arise in the town was leather. At its productivity top the tiny town sustained 3 tanneries. The natural leather market survives to now, currently on a single site, in the form of a very successful, modern-day center with five Queen's Awards for International Business.
